Ayy, hearts open? But not TOO open! Gatekeepers? YEAH, we showin’! Your heart’s a garden, not a free-for-all zoo (no, ma’am!) Can’t let in every creature crawlin’ up to you! Got a crocodile cryin’ crocodile tears? (ouch!) A fox in sheep’s PJs feedin’ you fears? (nuh-uh!) Check the claws, check the teeth, check the vibe If it brings chaos when it walks inside... SHUT THE DOOR! LET IT SLIDE! OH, YOUR HEART AIN’T NOAH’S ARK! Can’t save every stray in the dark! NOT EVERY PAW GETS A PLACE IN YOUR ZOO-OO! Two by two? That won’t DO! GOD SAID WISDOM BUILT THE DOOR So let in LOVE... and lock out the war! That gossip giraffe with a neck for your biz? (too tall!) That lazy old sloth always draggin’ you down? (too slow!) That parrot just squawkin’ what you already know? (too loud!) That snake sellin’ apples? BABY, LET IT GO! If it bites your joy, if it hides its stripes Don’t you board that beast on your soul’s lifeboat! NAH, NAH, NAH! OH, YOUR HEART AIN’T NOAH’S ARK! Can’t save every stray in the dark! NOT EVERY PAW GETS A PLACE IN YOUR ZOO-OO! Two by two? That won’t DO! GOD SAID WISDOM BUILT THE DOOR So let in LOVE... and lock out the war! The ark had a window... facing the SKY! (oh yeah!) Not the swamp, not the den where the predators lie! Your heart’s compass points to the Divine So screen every passenger... ONE. AT. A. TIME! Everybody CLAP! (clap-clap!) KEEP OUT THAT JACKAL! Everybody STOMP! (stomp-stomp!) SHUT OUT THAT VULTURE!* SPIN! (whoo!) LET IN THE LAMB! NOW FREEZE! (silenzio...) YOUR HEART’S HOLY LAND! Build your borders, beautiful friend! Let love IN... keep the wolves on the OUTSIDE! Not Noah’s ark... not Noah’s ark... ___@
